Asda bargains again- help needed.

Paid a visit to the new Asda again today, its not doing so well but thats my gain, loads of reduced.:j

Now I had some nice little wedges of cheese for 50p instead of £1.99. Although its blue veined it does not taste "blue" if you see what I mean. I thickened a peppercorn sauce with a bit today not having double cream but I need more ideas please. I have about a kilo of it but I have put some in the freezer.

Also - does anyone know how long it keeps in the freezer?

Thanks in advance:D

I made some broccoli and blue cheese soup the other day and it was delicious - I took advantage of some slightly limp broccoli and some reduced blue cheese the other day lol. I've frozen some too, and I find it freezes really well. Or, how about some blue cheese pate or spread?

I often freeze cheese and I find it will last a good couple of months - slightly more if you wrap it well so it doesn't pick up any tastes. It does soften a bit when you defrost it, but not so much as to be inedible.

If you like jacket potatoes, bake them in the oven, scoop out the middle and mix with some of the cheese, refill and grill the tops til brown.

I like to crumble some into a mix of half reduced-fat mayo and half fat-free yogurt to make blue cheese dip. Or you could use it to make cheese twists - http://www.stiltoncheese.com/simple.cfm?y=y&page_id=5 or make a pasta sauce with some bacon and broccoli? Or do a blue variation on welsh rarebit!

Would go well on pizza, on jacket wedges or in sandwiches. How about crubled in a salad or over pasta like you would with hard cheese?
